Cat Soup Animation

1. This movie is about this little boy cat. His sister is sick and dining and when he almost drowns in the bath tub he follower the spirt taking her soul and brings back half of it. When he is revived by his drunk father cat they find his sister dead in her bed, but the little cat places her half of a soul back on her and she comes back to life. (though she is only half there) then they go through a serious of unfortunate events. A bad circus act of violence leads to a flood of the whole land and they only survive in a boat with a pig man who they torture and eat. Then they are almost eaten by a crazy man in a bondage costume who fattens them up for his cat soup. Once they escape things only continue to get more and more insane. All the violence in the world goes into reverse so that it never happens. Towards the end the brother picks a flower for his sister and when she sniffs it her soul is returned and she is whole and back to her normal self. They go home and are having dinner with their family and when the little cat goes potty they disappear like when you turn off the tv and he is all alone again.  SAD-

The big moments that I noticed, were god ( man dressed in all white) holding the fate of the world in his hand and eating it, parents being too busy and not paying attention to their children, magic, the way we treat animals (maybe a touch on how they treated at a slaughter house) the grim reaper taking the sisters soul. It also brought to light they violence that children see and don't understand.

2.  The artist uses cute characters along side creative sound effects to get the viewers attention. I also noticed that they used events, stories, and characters that would be somewhat familiar to all different types of cultures. The dark humor is an attention grabber as well. They also had a lot of symbol heads.

3. I really enjoyed that this narrative didn't have words, it leaves the concept up to each individual viewer's interpretation and i found that refreshing. I did get little lost in all different ideas smashed together, but I did like what I could understand.
